An aspect observes the execution of a base program; when certain actions occur, the aspect
runs some extra code of its own. In the AspectJ language, the observations that an aspect …

Research in the design of aspect-oriented programming languages requires a workbench
that facilitates easy experimentation with new language features and implementation …

This paper considers the difficulties linked to the static scheduling strategy of AspectJ and
shows how to overcome them by turning to a more dynamic strategy, making it possible to …

A software product-line is a family of related programs. Each program is defined by a unique
combination of features, where a feature is an increment in program functionality …

This paper describes MATA (Modeling Aspects Using a Transformation Approach), a UML
aspect-oriented modeling (AOM) technique that uses graph transformations to specify and …

This paper defines an object-oriented language with harmless aspect-oriented advice. A
piece of harmless advice is a computation that, like ordinary aspect-oriented advice …

Distribution-related concerns, such as data replication, often crosscut the business code of a
distributed application. Currently such crosscutting concerns are frequently realized on top …

C applications, in particular those using operating system level services, frequently comprise
multiple crosscutting concerns: network protocols and security are typical examples of such …

Context-aware applications behave differently depending on the context in which they are
running. Since context-specific behavior tends to crosscut base programs, it can …

Being able to define and use different aspect languages, including domain-specific aspect
languages, to cleanly modularize concerns of a software system represents a valuable …
